Boy Scouts Overturn Ban On Homosexual Scouts

April 22, 2013 2 Comments

In a week when the attempted poisoning of the President by an Elvis impersonating letter mailer barely registers on the news radar, it’s hardly a surprise that the Boy Scouts big announcement was ignored. The Scouts are reversing a long standing policy on homosexuals. They will allow homosexual scouts while continuing the ban on homosexual adult scout leaders. Is there any doubt they’ll reverse the adult ban within a few years? It’s been amazing to watch this happen. The progressives targeted the Boy Scouts and now suddenly a once core belief is being tossed aside. At this point it’s obvious the Scouts no longer have core beliefs of any sort.

The Boy Scouts allowed themselves to be pressured into making changes. Make no mistake, they were organized against. Progressives entered at the local level with the sole intent on forcing changes from above. It was coordinated and it was successful because the Scouts were unprepared for such an assault. A once Christian organization, teaching Christian values to young men now cannot call itself Christian. The end result will be the destruction of the organization as conservative families leave only to not be replaced with liberal families unless they have some sort of agenda they have to continue pushing.

Once again, the right has proven they don’t understand how the left operates. We sit back in wonder as society comes to accept the unseemly acts homosexuals engage in. Meanwhile the government schools have targeted children on this subject for nearly 20 years. The Boy Scouts were a target even before their successful lawsuit which allowed them to ban homosexuals. They were an easy target, it’s easy to gain entry into leadership where change can quietly be achieved. We conservatives sit back and do nothing thinking that because we on a lawsuit everything will be fine only to wake up in horror a decade later to discover the homosexuals infiltrated the Boy Scouts and reversed the policy.

What fools we are. The left has done this repeatedly and we still haven’t learned our lesson. If they can’t win at the Court, they’ll target your kids and make their changes in the future. The left has done this for the better part of a century and we conservatives never seem to catch on. We think we’re winning the gun control battle because the Senate couldn’t pass Obama’s bill but we’re losing. Why? Because at government schools all over the country progressive “educators” are teaching children guns are dangerous and the people who use them are evil and thus they need to be controlled. If you think leftists aren’t trying to infiltrate pro-gun organizations like the NRA, you’re out of your mind.

The Boy Scouts have no core values anymore. As such Christians should have no part in the organization. We have to create our own scouting organizations, whether they’re affiliated with our churches or connected nationally. It’s unfortunate, the Boy Scouts have been a good and decent organization teaching Christian life skills to millions of boys. By overturning the ban on homosexual scouts, the organization told all of us it has no core values. If they’re willing to change on this value, a core belief just a decade ago, what other “core” beliefs will they give up? How long before the Boy Scouts start promoting homosexual activity like the Girl Scouts? My boys won’t be in the organization to find out.

Who Do Your Children Belong To?

April 9, 2013 10 Comments

Who do your children belong to? The answer of course is that they belong to God. In fact, we all belong to God as he created us from dust. From here the question is who did God entrust with the raising of children. The answer is families, on the specific issue of education (spiritual and otherwise) the answer is fathers. Remove God from the equation and the question becomes open and debatable. Over at MSNBC, host Melissa Harris Perry wants children raised by the collective. She wants to rid the world of the idea that children belong to their parents, she doesn’t like this sort of individual thinking. Thus we have a debate as to whether children belong to their parents or the collective.

Briefly looking at Perry’s statement, it could have easily been said during the progressive heyday in the early 20th century. The whole point of government education was to separate children from their parents and indoctrinate them at schools which were charged with shifting the nation in a progressive direction. Thomas Dewey and Horace Mann, the fathers of the progressive government school movement were quite up front about what they were doing. Leftists the world over followed their lead. Hitler dismissed opposing ideology by claiming that the Nazi’s already had the children and their parents beliefs would be gone soon. All of the communists banned private education. In Germany today homeschooling remains illegal thanks to laws ordained by Hitler.

The flip to this is the libertarian notion that children belong to their parents. Perhaps more extreme libertarians might argue that children belong to themselves. Either way, we Christians must be careful with this position as well. We are charged with raising children in a Godly manner. While we certainly find more agreement with the libertarian or individualist position, it’s still not one that we should fully embrace. We are only entrusted with raising our children, they don’t belong to us. Having said that, individual families making individual choices for their children is far more preferable than leaving children to be raised by the whim of a collective. (read: government)

Parents know what’s best for their children. Government really ought not have any say over the matter. For the progressives, this position is a threat because they know they can’t change American society without capturing children. Just look at the homosexual marriage issue, 15 years ago the overwhelming majority of Americans opposed homosexual marriage. Today a majority support it. The difference? A generation of young people have been indoctrinated in the virtues of homosexuality at the government schools. It’s the young who support it the most. If government and progressives didn’t have access to the nation’s children support for homosexual marriage would be nowhere near what it is today.

It should hardly come as a surprise when the progressives over at MSNBC push collectivist ideas. What’s interesting is that they did it in a promo so it was a planned statement rather than a spontaneous comment made during a debate. MSNBC is doubling down on their extreme left-wing propaganda. Look for them to feature more collectivist ideas in promos and ads in the future. Miss Perry’s position is wrong of course. Our children don’t belong to a collective, it does not take a village to raise children. It takes a family, with one mother and one father if you want the best odds for children to grow up happy and successful. In the end, our children and we ourselves belong to God. We don’t belong to ourselves or to a collective, we belong to God.

Al Gore Demands Smaller Families To Protect His False God

June 22, 2011 Leave a comment

Al Gore is in the news today. Not only is the radical environmentalist attacking the Obama administration for not being radical enough in an upcoming issue of Rolling Stone, the former Vice President also wants us to, for the sake of Mother Earth, have less children.

Gore drones on about educating women, as though they’re currently moronic cattle in need of Gore’s enlightenment. If only those dumb women were educated, then they wouldn’t have as many children! Gore’s full quote:

One of the things we could do about it is to change the technologies, to put out less of this pollution, to stabilize the population, and one of the principle ways of doing that is to empower and educate girls and women. You have to have ubiquitous availability of fertility management so women can choose how many children have, the spacing of the children.

You have to lift child survival rates so that parents feel comfortable having small families and most important — you have to educate girls and empower women. And that’s the most powerful leveraging factor, and when that happens, then the population begins to stabilize and societies begin to make better choices and more balanced choices.

Obviously Gore supports abortion and this is one of the biggest ways to save dear Mother Earth from a bunch of wretched children. By better choices, Gore of course means not having children. As though children are some sort of sinister monster. Gore takes the anti-life position to its logical conclusion. If women were only educated they would make better choices and either kill their children or not have them at all. Gore really doesn’t care about women, if he did perhaps he would oppose the female specific abortion holocaust, which stands at around 163 million female babies aborted because they’re female worldwide. The number could be even higher.

But of course, Gore, like the feminists, doesn’t really care about women. People like Gore look at the 163 million statistic and rejoice over the fact that those children were never born. This is man who worships the Earth rather than God.

And what are we to make of Gore’s call to ‘educate’ women. We must not forget who controls education, both in American and throughout the developed world. It isn’t the church or private industry that runs schools, it’s government. Who runs government schools? Progressives of course. Gore isn’t even talking about properly educating women, all he’s talking about is feeding women a bunch of progressive propaganda. If only women around the world were fed anti-Christian, secular progressive propaganda, then they wouldn’t have children! This is key to understanding what Gore is really talking about.

Our culture has long since shifted from one that viewed life and children as a blessing to one that views children as an unnecessary nuisance and bother. Gore wants to take it one step further and seeks to demonize children as little destroyers of his god. It wasn’t long ago that a family of four children was so common place as to not be noticed. I cannot tell you how many times my little family is either glared at by people at the grocery store or stopped to be told how busy we must be with so many children. The latter group is generally just being nice, but it amazes me the glares we get from people even when our kids are perfectly behaved. (If we have a screaming kid, I expect to be glared at because we’re annoying everyone else)

We must not fail to see the connections between Gore’s call for smaller families and abortion. We must also connect the dots between Gore’s call for “education” and the progressive propaganda machines called government schools. When we piece it all together, Gore’s statements become clear. He obviously wants more abortion and he he also wants more propaganda from the progressive government schools demonizing children and setting up Earth as a god. Clearly there is no place for Christian schools or private schools in Gore’s demands. As Christians, we must reject Gore’s demonization of children as well as his Earth worship. Furthermore, I dare say we need to protect our children from these increasingly godless and wicked government schools.
